Thousands of Israelis took to the streets of Haifa, demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and holding early elections to choose his replacement, according to the Times of Israel.

The newspaper wrote, "Thousands of demonstrators in Haifa are demanding early elections for the position of prime minister."

The demonstration was organized by the Popular Left Group, and it is reported that some demonstrators are planning to head towards the city of Caesarea to continue their protest in front of Netanyahu’s house.

Earlier, Netanyahu refused to take responsibility for his security failure and said: “We will answer all the questions, but let us focus on victory.”

Netanyahu stressed that the war in the Gaza Strip cost Israel a heavy price and loss of life among the ranks of the army.

He added, "War has its price, which is a heavy price in terms of the lives of our soldiers, and we will do everything to preserve their lives." But there is one thing we will not do, which is to stop the war before achieving victory.”
